What Matters the Most

By Carlo Vargas

Carlo Vargas is a Montreal-based artist specialised in intricate black and white illustration and whose creative approach stems from the music industry. His body of work, hand drawn and for the most part substantially dark, explores themes such as madness, sanity, remembrance and despair. In this Croyds video interview, the illustrator reflects on his ten-year break from creation, the main drivers behind his current practice, and his use of symbolism, alchemy and mysticism to create an atmosphere.
